As much as I love my X3 35i (surprisingly quick for an SUV), I'd say the 335i was a little quicker. Although, I did have the N54 and never drove a manual 335i with the N55, so that could be the difference.

Again, great vid OP! Can't wait to see more.
Thank You brother. This 335i shown is a 2011 with the N55 in it. We believe the clutch needs to be looked at, because getting into 2nd and 3rd seemed to be an issue for rapid shifting. I drove it my self. To be fair, a perfect 335i E90 manual should be quicker in real life then both versions of the X3. BUt more nose to nose vs the 35i X3 because of the 8 speed sport tranny.
